4·8 months agoEspecially for type 1 bipolar, lack of sleep can trigger mania. It’s also very hard to sleep while manic, which can make the problem worse.
Sleep hygiene and sleep tracking were very helpful for me personally. Tracking helps predict manic phases, and tracking helps see how effective different things are for getting good sleep. Sleep hygiene is a good place to start in terms of trying to find what works well for sleeping better.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar type 1.
I also worked in mental health.
The early stages can be tough because the person diagnosed has not yet learned how to recognize and cope with the issues bipolar brings.
It’s not hopeless. I finished university, started a stable career, bought a home, maintained some stable social relationships for decades, have a long term romantic partner. There were challenges along the way, but you generally get better at managing them as you go through more of them.
In addition to whatever recommendations the doctor makes , there are some things that every bipolar person can do to make things easier. If my illness is flaring up, I have a simple checklist.
If you notice a manic/depressive flare up, have you … Slept well? Eaten a remotely healthy meal? Done anything physical? Done anything social? Done anything productive?
Yes, these things will help pretty much anyone if you do them regularly, but they’re especially important for bipolar. They’re also listed in order of importance.

For fucks sake.
This is exactly what I’m talking about. What did you do before deciding I have no proof? That it’s “not debunked”.
You don’t have to disprove a negative, that’s not how proof works.
All I’m trying to say is we should do our research lest we should be as susceptible to bullshit as the right is.
Look, I googled it. First result.
Edit: for those who don’t want to watch a video, it clearly shows him sitting on the towel-less couch.
Stop being so stupid that I get put in the unenviable position of defending a man I despise.
I cannot prove whether he’s continent or not. I’m just saying I’ve seen multiple posts of him sitting on “a towel” like this

In which the videos clearly show it’s just his stupidly long coat tails.
And debunked stuff like that is simply not needed when we’re talking about Trump. We should check our sources and assumptions because the right does not.
The towel/couch thing is not true. It looked like it on the pic and there were memes about it, but in the video it’s clearly just his ridiculously long suit ties.
Trump has a million other valid things to mock, don’t mock the debunked stuff or we’re no better than Fox News.
Could’ve spent that on non-lethals like tasers. Weird that they’re buying artillery and guided missiles… Wonder what those are for…
